I want ALL the colors! I would love shelves with all the colors for Neuf and Huit, make it look like the Polene store.
Is there anyone who’s ~5’0 or is a US 6-8 who can take a mod shot with the Cyme Mini? One video made it look small but then I saw a couple pictures where it looked kinda big but no one specifies their height or sizeAnd I made sure to double check it was pics of the Cyme Mini I was looking at
This woman is 5'2.5" and has some pictures with the Cyme Mini in multiple blog posts! Hope these help: 1 | 2 | 3
Hello! I have been eyeing Polene bags for a few years now and have finally decided that I want a new bag! I originally fell in love with the Numero Un but during the past years, Polene has so many options! I'm debating between Numero Un, Sept, Neuf, Dix, and Numero Un backpack.
Could ya'll give recommendations on your favorite bag/why you chose one over another? Also, color wise, I love TAUPE but I'm also considering Cognac or Black. Any tips?
I would love to buy all the bags and will hopefully buy more in the future when I finish graduate school but for now, I have to choose one

Welcome! This thread and its Polene fans helped me a lot, so definitely check out the thread and get more opinions!
I just went through the same beginner's journey as you did. Just got into handbags, no idea what I like or what to get, so here's my experience? Or things to look out for.
1. What colors do you normally wear in your wardrobe? I started with black handbags because I mostly wear black. I personally don't like the cognac color, it's like rust red to me, but it depends on you. I'm planning on getting bags in taupe and chalk too.
2. What kind of handbags do you like using? I ordered a bunch of handbags from Polene, including the Umi, Sept, Beri, and I found I'm not a big flap bag person, and I don't like zippers or fiddly clasps. I like the black hole style ones like Neuf and Huit, where there's a top handle and a magnetic clasp and that's it. I returned the other bags I got, and the return process was pretty straightforward, but I still wouldn't recommend it unless you don't mind the hassle of returning packages.
3. If you don't mind minor inconveniences with handbags and designs are what you care about most, then what kind of occasions or styles are you wanting handbags for? I would like the option to dress up bags, but overall I'm a very much every day, medium size bag kind of person. I also don't need office or corporate style bags. Depends on your needs.
Would you mind clarifying which Numero Un you’re considering? There’s 3 sizes: Original, Mini and Nano. The Numero Un backpack comes in the Mini size.Hello!

I originally had the Numero Un Nano in Cognac and sold it. Cognac pulls more red in real life and because of that it did not go with a lot in my wardrobe, which was an issue for me because I wanted it to be a daily bag. I know cognac usually has some red in it, but Polene’s was probably one of the most red-based Cognacs I ever encountered.
Fast forward to two years later - I just placed an order yesterday for a smooth leather Camel Nano. Despite selling it, deep down I guess I still missed the bag.
My vote would be Numero Un Nano since I have been drawn to that bag twice now. Whatever you choose, I would definitely go with Taupe or Black. I think those would more more neutral and probably work in a wardrobe better.
the un mini backpack version in black it's my favorite, but I don't use it as a backpack. although it supposed to be a bag that you can use in different ways, I only like it when the strap it's doubled, like a shorter shoulder bag (it hits me around the waist area). if you're debating about so many styles, maybe considered the bags that you already have to help you understand what are your preferences about size and colour, way of carrying the bag, occasions to wear it.. at first I wanted the un regular size, but I knew I won't wear often. I also have (and love) the nano for some occasions, but in general still prefer the mini.Hello! I have been eyeing Polene bags for a few years now and have finally decided that I want a new bag!

Some of these are quite different in scale so like @poleneinblack said, it depends on what you’re looking for.
If you want a bigger bag, you may want to look at the Neuf. I think most folks tend to love it and not find it too big. The regular Un sometimes seems to get mixed reviews. In full transparency I don’t own either, but am planning on getting the Neuf in the not too distant future.
If you’re going for a smaller bag, between the Sept and the Dix I think the Dix gets better reviews. Although I’m thinking of the Sept mini and I suppose you may be looking at the regular Sept.
If I could get the Neuf and Huit in every shade, I would. I want to have a place to display handbags just so I can have a bunch of those bags and display them.
By the way, when is Polene going to get its own subforum under contemporary designers? I think its time!
Guys I got my new bag today! No flaws!
The exchange process was a little nerve wracking for me but I'm a pretty anxious person.
They took a week to reply to my email and sent me a prepaid shipping label. I shipped it back the same day.
There was an issue where the tracking details of the return package was wrong because somewhere along the lines DHL reassigned the tracking number of the return package. Though I had to initiate the conversation since I tracked it frequently.
Polene promptly shipped out my new bag as soon as they contacted DHL to confirm I had sent out the return package and it was on the way back to Spain.
So, I’ve been itching to order a new handbag and I had been torn between a new Louis Vuitton and a Polène. Since LV has raised their prices, I just can’t justify buying one anymore. I’m not the most patient person, either, so saving up for a few months just to buy a bag is not exactly my thing. That’s why I finally - after months of lurking in this thread - ordered the Numero Neuf Mini in Camel. 
It was difficult to decide between the Neuf and the Sept but currently Polène only offer the Sept in Camel with the flap in a different tone.
I‘m excited for my first ever Polène bag!

Hi welcome! I spent awhile researching reviews and thinking of cons for each bag. There are MANY pros and everyone sings praises about Polene! Instead I can share with you some of what I think are "cons" I've gathered about the bags from this forum, blog reviews, youtube videos. I hope they would help you. I currently own only the Neuf mini in chalk (arrived today) so I do not have personal experiences with any others.
Here's some "cons" I've collected:
Numero Un in general: for the smooth leather ones, minor fold creases will be inevitable near where the handle is since it is a flap closure bag.
Numero Un (largest size): The top handle is big enough to use on the crook of the arm, but it seems that it is uncomfortable to use as the leather is stiff.
Numero Un Mini: Thin metal straps can hurt if your bag is heavy
Numero Un Backpack: Thin shoulder straps and large bag capacity
Numero Un Nano: Most popular style I believe. Do note that there is a quality difference in "full grain textured calf leather" and "textured calf leather". The full grain one is the more luxurious of the two but is only available in the camel trio and black trio. All other colors aside in the pebbly type of leather is the lesser luxurious type. This "con" is from me actually because I'm not sure if I'll put funds into another bag anytime soon and I wanted to make sure I had the epitome of Polene quality. That being said I don't remember hearing anyone complain about the quality of the "textured calf leather". I'm fairly certain you can find every color of the nano tagged by a proud owner on Instagram.
Numero Sept: Shoulder straps not removable
Numero Sept Mini: aside from the micro line, this holds the smallest capacity
Numero Huit: Drawstring closure annoys some people because you need to use two hands to get in and out of the bag. One to pull the drawstring and hold the opening open and one to stick your hand in the bag.
Numero Neuf: If you put heavy things in your bag, you would still have a ton of free space in the bag before the thin crossbody straps dig into your shoulder
Numero Neuf Mini: Tiny opening
Numero Dix: Looks larger on body than Numero Un Nano but holds less
Beri: The straps are adjustable by a sliding knot. Depending on how much you put in the bag, and how loose the sliding knot is, the strap can readjust to the longest setting as you walk. (I've only seen this issue mentioned ONCE in a youtube review in Chinese. Though I didn't fully understand, I can sort of tell by the hand gestures combined with my super limited Chinese)
My favorite bags are all sizes of Neuf, Huit, Septs, and Cyme.
I think the Cyme is a pretty good bag for a Graduate student if you are looking for a tote, a work bag, a beach bag. It can also fold inwards and collapse the shape if you don't need as much room for the day. It might not be the most trendy bag of the bunchI
When there are enough Threads, and posts on those Treads. It's one reason I added the 'What Polene are you wearing today?' Thread.
